United formally revealed their new home
shirt on Thursday morning ahead of their first pre-season match of the summer,
after it appeared to have accidentally gone live early on the other side of the
world.
Adidas Australia put the new home jersey up
for sale in the early hours of Thursday morning, including a promotional
picture which showed teenage star Hannibal Mejbri modelling the product.
A product description on the manufacturer's
official website references the words 'youth, courage and success' as the
inspiration behind the new home shirt - with those three words emblazoned
inside the neck of the kit.
"Built to perform on the pitch, it
combines cooling HEAT.RDY with lightweight details. A devil sign-off on the
back shows your pride. This product is made with Primegreen, a series of
high-performance recycled materials."
Mejbri and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are two of the
senior players seen modelling the shirt online, while Luke Shaw and Amad have
also been pictured in it.
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho, 21, arrived at
United’s Carrington training complex on Tuesday for a medical and is expected
to be unveiled as a United player imminently.
England international Sancho is due to be
off for three weeks following the end of the European Championship and could
make his United bow at Old Trafford in their final pre-season friendly against
Everton on August 7.
